The two best words to describe the outlook of big American tech companies are “libertarian” and “globalist.” In the context of American politics, these terms cut completely different ways. The tech companies, like most other businesses, approve of Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation; they also appreciate Trump’s willingness to treat them as national champions in their dealings with the EU. On the other hand, they despise Trump’s tariffs, culture wars, and immigration restrictions; they are also concerned about chaotic government and the practical impacts of rapidly declining relations with China. Which way will the mop flop in November?
Mark Zuckerberg has tried very hard to maintain a connection to Trump without offending his left-leaning employees, with mixed success at best. A few tech titans are uncompromising libertarians who will support Trump, in spite of his obvious incompetence. Most of the others, however, will give their donations to the moderate left; they will see slightly higher taxes and some additional danger of antitrust actions as an acceptable price to pay for reasonable social policies and an end to the chaos.
When it is all said and done, they will probably be rewarded.
